It all starts with a personal experience, witnessing promising interns and capable, talented individuals face discrimination due to sheer incompetence. This personal narrative calls for a mandatory system where companies, both private and public, reveal the genuine reasons for rejecting a candidate's application. This is not just about accountability but also about respect, fairness, and personal growth.

It is proposed that for objective assessments such as written tests and interviews, organizations should provide feedback within 30 working days. For subjective exams, a slightly extended timeline of 45 days should be tolerated. Moreover, they must make all exam results, questions, and answer sheets electronically available to the individuals.

There is ample evidence to suggest that providing feedback to rejected candidates can have long term benefits. According to a study by Brandon Hall Group, companies that invest time in providing feedback to unsuccessful candidates can bolster their reputation and improve their recruitment strategies. Hence, this policy is not only beneficial to the applicants but the organizations as well.

Let's rise to call for a fairer, transparent, and more timely feedback system for job application rejections. Sign this petition to express your support and make a difference to job seekers worldwide.
